Bugaboo Cameleon Reviews

Pros: everything!

Overall: I bought this pram nearly 5 years ago and still love it as much as the day I bought it. I used it for my oldest child and now use it for my youngest (sadly having to go to a double pram for the kids in the middle).
The manouverability is amazing, you can push and turn this pram with one finger and it just glides.
It is super reliable, the only problem I have ever had with it is a flat tyre - but harldy bugaboo's fault that i ran over a thumb tack.
I have taken the covers off numerous times for washing which makes it super easy to always have a nice looking, baby food gunge free pram.
The only thing I grizzle about is that the small front wheels can be a bit touchy over uneven ground, though you can now buy all terrain tyres for the front which would eliminate this problem.
I like that it has a hand brake, so you don't have to squish your toes/shoes using those annoying foot brakes.
the adjustible handle height is great for people of different heights using the pram.

Pros: Very well made, great pram.

Cons: It is a bit more expensive than a lot of other prams on the market

Overall: I just love this pram.

This pram is very easy to push, even when only pushing with one hand, which you have to do often when you have little kids.

I have the toddler board attachment and it is great for the older kids.

The basket at the bottom holds a surprising amount of stuff, I love being able to push the pram with baby facing me or facing out depending on the situation.

WHen my baby was very little I used the pram in the bassinet mode, it makes going anywhere with baby easy

Pros: I like that my baby can face me. It is very light. It feels sturdy. I walk my dog with the stroller daily. She is a 13kg and badly behaved, but I never have a problem manoeuvring the stroller and controlling the dog. Very comfortable for baby to sleep in. I have the footmuff, which was a little expensive, but I really like as my son kicks off any type of blanket, but likes the muff.

Cons: Harder to pack up than other strollers. Takes up a lot of space in the car. Bassinet setting is a waste of money. Isn't practical for plane travel.

Overall: My baby is 6 months old, and I have used my bugaboo at least once a day since my son was 2 months old. I wouldn't get rid of it, but I'm not sure I would buy it if I had my time over. It was highly recommended to me, with a few parents saying that had gotten rid of mountain buggies to get a bugaboo, which is what sold me.

I love that my baby can face me, as I go on quite a long walk daily. I walk my dog with it, and it feels sturdy.

I think that the bassinet setting is a waste of money. I moved my son into the stroller at 3 months (bugaboo recommends using the bassinet until 6 months), and the other mothers in my mothers group did the same. I carried him in a baby bjorn a lot before 3 months, so I don't think I got my monies worth out of that setting.

I find the two sections to be really annoying. I also have a maclaran, which is so much easier to pack up, but I don't feel that it is as comfortable for my son at this age. I find it easy to through in the car and it takes up a lot less space so, I can see myself using the Maclaran more as he gets older.

I have quite a big car (Volvo XC60) and the bugaboo takes up a lot of space in my boot.

It needs to be completely dismantled if you are travelling by plane, and you need to buy a luggage carrier ($250).

I haven't used the bugaboo bee, but I think that it would have been better for me, as you aren't wasting money on the bassinet, it is folds down in one piece and the bub can still face you.

Bugaboo Cameleon is not recommended by jussyk

Pros: changeable colours, lightness, comes with most extras eg. raincover, mosquito net, easy to change baby forward and backward facing.

Cons: quite expensive, takes alot of boot space up, not a very big underbasket, small wheels arnt the best for off road.

Overall: I purchased the bugaboo cameleon late 2011 at the time I believed it to be one of the best prams on the market with reading reviews. Since then my experience has mostly been positive, it's great that you can change colours and is quite easy to clean. I must say it does take up alot of boot space I have a Holden Captiva and I pretty much dont have any room for anything else in the boot. It is a great shopping centre pram , but if you are wanting to go off road eg. gravel roads , grass it is probbly not the best pram on the market for it. Also the underbasket is quite hard to get into with the bassinet and also the stroller part on.
If I was to purchase another pram I would definately be taking these problems into consideration. I feel there are better prams on the market atm that would definately meet all my needs.

Pros: Light, easy to steer, takes capsule, looks great.

Cons: Hard to get to basket when using as pram.

Overall: I can steer my bugaboo with one hand and it has foam filled tyres so you never have to worry about punctures and pumping them up. it is one of the lightest prams on the market and easy to fold if you follow the instructions. The bassinette attachment was great when my baby was first born and now we have moved onto the stroller it tilts back for naps on the go. But ease of steering is the biggest plus.

Pros: easy to steer

Overall: I find this pram great. It is really easy to steer one handed and a great turning circle for shopping aisles. We use the bassinet attachment as the day bed or for when we are out visiting.

Only bad points are the basket is hard to get to when you have bassinet attached but that's not that big of an issue. Also the sun canopy on bassinet doesn't come down alot so it doesn't shade baby all the way. All prams will have bad points and I dn't think this one has many.

Definitely worth the money.
